Google’s Phone app will tell you if a scammer is impersonating one of your contacts

Google's Phone app is introducing a feature to alert users about potential AI impersonation scams by flagging calls that appear to be from their contacts as suspicious. This update is part of the broader June Android update, which includes other enhancements such as support for Apple AirDrop, accessibility of the Personal Safety app for children under 13, AI-powered clothing try-on features in Photos, and improved search functionality for outfits. The Phone app will notify users with a message indicating that "Someone may be pretending to call from your contact’s number," allowing them to hang up if the call is deemed suspicious. This feature will be automatically enabled for users on Android 12 and later, starting with Pixel devices, and relies on a system where both the user and their contact must use the Phone by Google app to verify call authenticity through a "silent confirmation signal." The feature utilizes end-to-end encrypted rich communication services (RCS) technology.

Keep your GTA 6, the news I can finally play the console-exclusive DLC for Saints Row 2 from 2009 on PC is what I’ve been waiting for

In 2009, three DLC packs for Saints Row 2 were released: Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and the Unkut Pack. The first two DLCs focused on missions against the Ultor Corporation and added new vehicles, clothing, and a unique NPC homie voiced by Tera Patrick. The Unkut Pack, which included over 60 customization options, was only available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, leaving PC gamers without access to this content. The PC version of Saints Row 2 faced bugs and lacked certain features, such as the Balding Mullet hairstyle. Currently, players can enhance their experience with the Juiced Patch 9.0.0+, although some mods may have compatibility issues. To install the PC DLC, players need to download it and unzip it into the Saints Row 2 root directory.
